Dean. I tried 3 times. Suspend x 3 and wake up x 3.
What does acpid invoke. First it calls /etc/acpi/events/lid when you close the lid.
That script calls /etc/acpi/lid.sh which calls /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script.

I suppose it is busy, because acpi_listen keeps it busy...or then something else. I have to admit that acpi related stuff is a little complicated.
/usr/bin/acpi_listen and /usr/sbin/acpid are needed for power button shutdown. They are coupled with /etc/acpi/events/acpid.conf and with /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_poweroff.sh. This stuff has been created by Patriot and later modified by Shinobar and possibly by Soliver. I havent checked what I have now included. Should check what I have, I know.

Then there is busybox /sbin/acpid. I dont know what it does. And I have a lot stuff originally created by Jemimah in /etc/acpi. I have somewhat modified those scripts. Probably crippled them also.

If someone wants to give a shot to all those acpi scripts....by all means...give them shot.

I seem to be busy now with Ringtail Puppy. I am atm compiling kernel for it and creating basic normally bootable version using Barrys latest fixes.

It looks like I love to test new woofable versions with latest kernel in them.

Report for whatever it's worth. On both a dual-core and quad-core with Nvidia Gforce 7025/nforce 630a graphics Precise 3.8.3.1 successfully boots to a desktop but within about 30 seconds totally freezes with a totally distorted display with no keyboard input possible leading to a hard poweroff. Repeated several times on both machines.

No problem on older Nvidia or Intel boxes.

Adding "nouveau.noaccel=1" to the kernel line also solves the freezing problem in Precise 3.8.3.1 with the troublesome Nvidia chip.

I installed puppy_precise_3.8.3.1
on Mobile Intel Celeron machine having CPU 1.80GHz with 1 Gbyte RAM.
It is working great so far! I really like how polished this distribution is.

I'm also trying to get my usb DVB-T stick recognised and making good progress (I think). However, I have still not managed to get it working with installed your 5.1 Mbyte vlc 2.0.5 and qt-4.8.2-stripped.sfs from http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-upup/. To be honest, I'm not sure how to get dvb working and wondered if you or anyone could help.

I ran "dmesg|grep dvd" and that suggested I needed firmware dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw. I found that on the web and put both dvb-usb-it9135-01 and dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw into /lib/firmware and rebooted the machine, which appears to now be recogising the usb dvb stick. Not sure how to proceed after that. I started up vlc and tried "Media -> Open Capture Device" and in the sub menu Capture Mode selected PVR, but I don't see any Device name listed in Device Selection there, so don't know how to precede. Not sure is I'm using the correct vlc menu anyway since never tried dvb before.

EDIT: I noted mentioned somewhere (on another website) of a program called dvbscan and also some config file called channels.conf. I don't have either of these. I also don't get any DVB option under VLC's menu Media -> Capture Device -> Capture Mode (only get VideoForLinux 2, PVR, and Desktop).
